Welcome to the books for piano teachers page on Piano Pantry!

First-off, a few top picks.

 

Top Recommendations

We all know our time can be very limited so if I could recommend only THREE books for you to ever read about music teaching in your lifetime, it would be these three. (They're not even specific to piano teaching, just music teaching in general.)

 

The rest of the books on this page are divided into seven categories to make your browsing easier:

  • Piano Teaching (General), Music Education, & Teaching Inspiration
  • Music Business & Entrepreneurship for Independent Music Teachers
  • Elementary-Intermediate Piano Pedagogy & Repertoire Guides/References
  • Intermediate-Advanced Piano Technique & Repertoire Guides/References
  • Music Learning Theory (Introductions)
  • Music Learning Theory (In-Depth)
  • Faith and the Arts

Some of the books may appear in two different categories if I felt they strongly represented both.
